#6I’ve been through most of these and removing yourself really can be done. In many cases the removal is considered temporary and you have to repeat every four to ten years. It’s not possible to get off of the skip trace and debt collectors databases run by Transunion, Experian, and others - but you can flood them with false information and they will record it and keep it forever.

I'd love to know what kind of false information you're enjoying sending them, and how!

The other thing I ran into is even after you remove yourself you often still show up in lists of relations of family members and former roommates, you have to fill have their data removed also before your name drops off entirely.

I've seen a few, including https://www.privacyduck.com/ , but I don't know how well they work.

I'd love a privacy union. So much that I could see letting it make decisions for me until I naturally worried about the privacy implications
